"I really appreciated the book because it presents an innovative approach to education, based on aesthetic experiences, to facilitate a critical and constructive relationship between natural and artificial intelligence. This method proves particularly effective as it engages young people in a creative and emotional way, stimulating deep reflection on the ways in which AI can influence their lives and society as a whole."
